12. Minytrema melanops Eaf. 
Choccolo Creek, Oxford. 
13. Campostonia anomalum Eaf. 
Generally distributed. 
14. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. 
Tuscaloosa. I am uuable to distinguish Jiayi from nuchalis. 
15. Pimephales notatus Eaf. 
Hoglan’s Creek, Warrior. 
16. Cliola vigilax Baird and Girard. 
Tuscaloosa and Attalla j uot abundant. 
17. Notropis veiiustus cercostigma Cope. 
Exceedingly abundant. There is a recognizable difference between Texan and 
Alabaman specimens of vemistus. The latter hare a more elongate body, darker color- 
ation, and the caudal siiot more elongate, extending farther back on median caudal 
rays. The scales average a trifle smaller, 40 or 41 instead of 38 or 39, the range of vari- 
ation being from 37 or 38 to 42 in both forms. Typical venustus have the caudal spot 
nearly circular. 
18. Notropis callistius Jordan. 
This species is abundant throughout the Alabama basin, of which it is apparently 
characteristic. 
19. Notropis trichroistius Jordan and Gilbert. 
Everywhere accompanying calUstms, which this species very strongly resembles. 
It may apparently be distinguished by its larger oblique mouth and sharp nose. 
20. Notropis coeruleus Jordan. 
This beautiful species is seemingly not abundant. Specimens were secured at 
Attalla and Oxford. 
21. Notropis megalops Eaf. 
Generally abundant. 
22. Notropis chrosomus Jordan. 
Found abundant in a small creek tributary to the Black Warrior Eiver near 
Tuscaloosa. ISTot taken elsewhere. 
23. Notropis Xcenocephalus Jordan. 
Generally abundant, and easily distinguished by the conspicuously checkered 
appearance of the back, owing to the darker margins of the scales. Adults show a 
well-marked lateral baud, which may pass around the snout. 
24. Notropis stilbius Jordan. 
Everywhere abundant. Always showing a cluster of black dots at base of caudal, 
which may form a conspicuous black spot. To specimens with such a spot, was given 
the manuscript name Notropis spilurus, Gilbert and Swain, in Jordan’s Catalogue of 
Fishes A., page 26. 
25. Phenacobius catostomus Jordan. 
Big Oahawba at Helena. Very close to P. uranops, with which it agrees in size 
of head (4J to 5 in length) and in width of isthmus (2^ to 3 in head). It differs in its 
deeper head and body, and in its much thinner lips. 
26. Hybopsis kentuckiensis Eaf. 
At Chestnut Creek, Verbena; uot abundant.
